Just sayin'........

When do the white riots start?

I could use a new big screen TV.
This is a stupid argument. You don't give the consequences surrounding the shootings/killings.

Myopic, simple minded thinking, dumbing down of America continues.

Because every time this happens, the media goes crazy, there's riots, looting and arson and no shortage of black people who act like white people never get killed by cops.

And this would be a fair opinion to argue and study but these raw numbers do nothing.

edit: a t.v. is a bad choice prices keep coming down. iPhones are where the real money is at, can carry more and worth a lot more these days.
It’s true that around 13 per cent of Americans are black, according to estimates from the US Census Bureau.

BUT, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides.

So blacks disproportionately commit these crimes by a MASSIVE amount.

Black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides

Yes and they are shot by other black people much more than they are shot by any other group.

How so?


More whites get shot by cops despite commiting less violent crime and less resisting arrest than blacks.

I might tend to agree if the numbers changd significantly in different years.

I could be wrong.......but I'd be willing to bet they don't vary that much percentage wise.

I don't know.

I haven't researched them all.

But then again, the media doesn't pay nearly as much attention when a white person get killed by the police.

Makes the local news for a while, maybe a blurb on national news......but probably not.

Anyways, this thread isn't really about George Floyd either.

Police is placed above the law.
No, I never voted for that.
Yes, payback to LEOs is long overdue.

And yes, when mob will start killing LEOs all I'd say would be "they begged for that for years".

But they're laws democrats have made and instructed the cops the enforce but then they don't back it up with punishment or even attempted rehabilitation. How can you take any seriously when they're pro democrat? You get what you vote for.
